A good place to share excerpts from various books and articles about our Arthur Lee. Or your favorite QUOTE or LYRICby Arthur.....
from 33 1/3 Forever Changes.....
Ken Forssi remembered, "Arthur had this big house right on the top of Mulholland Drive, and we'd look down over the city from there. Arthur would sit up there staring out and wondering about all the ambulances." For Lee's part, the move marked his total withdrawal from the Sunset Strip scene he helped create. Once he settled into his Lookout Mountain perch, he "didn't want to hang out with anybody", as he recalled years later. "Jim Morrison used to sit outside my door when I lived in Laurel Canyon, wanting to hang out with me. I just let him sit there." The Lizard King loitering on your stoop, and you don't even let him in for a cup of tea. Dignified paranoia indeed.
 a deep insight into the mind of Arthur Lee during the FC times....

| And if we get examples of Arthur's best wit either in his lyrics or quips when he talked to people...Some of his lines are great....right a 'house is not a motel')...And "I don't want you using up my time!". |

Yeah, isn't that right?
up there with Shakespeares As You Like It
you know Jacques talking about
"All the worlds a stage..."
I won't quote all of the ages of man speech here!
I tend to find a lot of truth in Shakespeare though. By the bucketload in King Lear!
(I guess if S has a best, its King Lear; but thats forgetting Hamlet, Romeo & Henry the Fourth!)
I'm glad they went with You Set The Scene
than You Do Set The Scene.. |

"We are of such stuff as dreams are made on
And our little life is rounded with sleep"
With YSTS, I think Arthur together with his dreams hit the heights just like the old bard with his lines...the song is timeless...

that photo in rolligstone with Arthur and his "new band" in Memphis, brought shades of Shakespearian imagery to mind.
YSTS is an epic , indeed! it is multi-dimensional.

I'd buy the album just for the song titles
I should play it actually. Take the Kinks box set off the turntable! |
